Beautiful work on a splendid old stick! Thanks for showing how you worked out the probable text on the silver band. I was also intrigued by the carved X marks on the bottom of the antler handle. Probably to improve grip? Have never seen that before.
Very exciting! Great restoration and with attribution to one person and time you have multiplied the value of the antique. (I hope your customers appreciate that.) All the best, George
That is a wonderful restoration of a lovely piece of history. I'm sure that this treasured possession will see many more years of use. Nice too that you went to the extra effort of deciphering the inscription.
Great restoration vodeo. I learned a lot. I am a first generation blackthorn stick maker and i am very intersted in the process of the french polish shellac. Can you provide a more detailed explination of the procedure? Thank you.

Discovering the story is always my favorite piece of the video.
Cheers Leigh!

Thank you, much appreciated. It took a while and a lot squinting and using crossword solving websites ...but I think it is a fair result!
Nice job and story, thanks Bruce

That sounds a great idea for a video - let me think how to do that! Yes
